Subject: [PATCH v3 07/16] x86/virt/tdx: Add tdx_alloc/free_page() helpers

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

Add helpers to use when allocating or preparing pages that need DPAMT
backing. Make them handle races internally for the case of multiple
callers trying operate on the same 2MB range simultaneously.

While the TDX initialization code in arch/x86 uses pages with 2MB
alignment, KVM will need to hand 4KB pages for it to use. Under DPAMT,
these pages will need DPAMT backing 4KB backing.

Add tdx_alloc_page() and tdx_free_page() to handle both page allocation
and DPAMT installation. Make them behave like normal alloc/free functions
where allocation can fail in the case of no memory, but free (with any
necessary DPAMT release) always succeeds. Do this so they can support the
existing TDX flows that require cleanups to succeed. Also create
tdx_pamt_put()/tdx_pamt_get() to handle installing DPAMT 4KB backing for
pages that are already allocated (such as external page tables, or S-EPT
pages).

Since the source of these pages is the page allocator, multiple TDs could
each get 4KB pages that are covered by the same 2MB range. When this
happens only one page pair needs to be installed to cover the 2MB range.
Similarly, when one page is freed, the DPAMT backing cannot be freed until
all TDX pages in the range are no longer in use. Have the helpers manage
these races internally.

So the requirements are that:

1. Free path cannot fail (i.e. no TDX module BUSY errors).
2. Allocation paths need to handle finding that DPAMT backing is already
   installed, and only return an error in the case of no memory, not in the
   case of losing races with other’s trying to operate on the same DPAMT
   range.
3. Free paths cannot fail, and also need to clean up the DPAMT backing
   when the last page in the 2MB range is no longer needed by TDX.

Previous changes allocated refcounts to be used to track how many 4KB
pages are in use by TDX for each 2MB region. So update those inside the
helpers and use them to decide when to actually install the DPAMT backing
pages.

tdx_pamt_put() needs to guarantee the DPAMT is installed before returning
so that racing threads don’t tell the TDX module to operate on the page
before it’s installed. Take a lock while adjusting the refcount and doing
the actual TDH.PHYMEM.PAMT.ADD/REMOVE to make sure these happen
atomically. The lock is heavyweight, but will be optimized in future
changes. Just do the simple solution before any complex improvements.

TDH.PHYMEM.PAMT.ADD/REMOVE take exclusive locks at the granularity each
2MB range. A simultaneous attempt to operate on the same 2MB region would
result in a BUSY error code returned from the SEAMCALL. Since the
invocation of SEAMCALLs are behind a lock, this won’t conflict.

Besides the contention between TDH.PHYMEM.PAMT.ADD/REMOVE, many other
SEAMCALLs take the same 2MB granularity locks as shared. This means any
attempt to operate on the page by the TDX module while simultaneously
doing PAMT.ADD/REMOVE will result in a BUSY error. This should not happen,
as the PAMT pages always has to be installed before giving the pages to
the TDX module anyway.

v3:
 - Fix hard to follow iteration over struct members.
 - Simplify the code by removing the intermediate lists of pages.
 - Clear PAMT pages before freeing. (Adrian)
 - Rename tdx_nr_pamt_pages(). (Dave)
 - Add comments some comments, but thought the simpler code needed
   less. So not as much as seem to be requested. (Dave)
 - Fix asymmetry in which level of the add/remove helpers global lock is
   held.
 - Split out optimization.
 - Write log.
 - Flatten call hierarchies and adjust errors accordingly.
